Why won't my laptop load past the welcome screen?

) October 10th, 2010

When I turn on my laptop it goes to the black screen with a bar at the bottom to show that it’s loading. But it goes on forever and the windows logo never shows up like it’s supposed to. My laptop seemed fine but now it doesn’t work. Is there an easy way to fix this without going to a place to repair it? Also if I did, how much would it cost if I didn’t have insurance/warranty?

Try tapping f8 on start up. If the laptop loads to the safe mode screen, select safe mode and see if it starts. If it does carry out a system restore to an earlier date. If that works then cool, if not, you will have to carry out a recovery which will result in data loss.

I can’t say that I agree with eveything that Oreetcocker said. Yes if you can get into the safe mode then go ahead and try a system restore and maybe that will get you up and running. If that dose not work then please tell me what operating system you are using because it sounds like a registry problem to me. When you tell me what operating system you are using I can tell you how to repair it without any data lost.
